Air tightness blower door to detect draught

[phatboy]

What do you mean Certification is worth very little here… on the forum or in the UK ?

Well who do you need to show the report to?

Well who do you need to show the report to?

That doesn’t answer my question.

I need the report to be credible, not written by someone in the pub who just so happens to have the equipment and knows how to use it.

Who needs to see your credible report? What would happen if you didn't have one?

 

[Wyleecoyote]

if you don’t know of the industry standard certification of such a test and report, they why answer ?

Look, you seem to have got your back for some reason, but if you don't explain the context or why you need the test and what it needs to demonstrate and to whom then the thread's gonna keep going round in circles.

I don’t need to justify a reason.

If I asked someone in the street did they know where the Post Office is, they wouldn’t ask why do I need to know or for what reason do you need to know where the Post Office is.

I asked, did anyone know of the certification of an air blower/air tightness/smoke test, although it’s not needed for building regs.

Then I elaborated further and provided YouTube footage, that’s more than enough, I want an industry standard certified report, to give any such test credibility, that’s it.

A test and written report has credibility when backed up by an industry standards verification from the relevant certified body.

So if the relevant Certification doesn’t come to mind when you read my post, then you don’t know the answer.

Thermography makes it easier to identify the moisture condensation, defective concrete panels, joints between different materials, air leakage (filtration) through the building envelope (air barrier), irregularities in the heating system and makes it possible to localize defect and take necessary corrective actions. Best time for thermography is before interior works are done, right after windows installing and vapor barrier finishing.

But that’s not what I asked,

So what’s the accredited certification of such a test and you had the test performed yourself, what did it cost and as the test was ineffective, how did you pinpoint the draught ?

 

[freddiemercurystwin]

I have never carried out such a test, my answer 'yes' in post No. 8 was in response to your intimation 'you believe its impractical.'

You seem to think this testing system you've found on Youtube will achieve what you want, it won't because it's not designed to be undertaken in occupied buildings.
